There are 31 minutes left in February 2011.
Like this month, my entry will be short and sweet--an ode to the Year of the Rabbit.
When this comprehensive article on Chinese noodles appeared in the New York Times earlier this year, a friend forwarded it to me with the message, "Don't you wish the term 'Master Noodle Puller' appeared on your resume? There's still time."
Indeed, I do.
"Pull" is an appropriate verb for February. I've been pulled in many happy directions, I've pulled some rabbits out of hats, I pulled off a cross-country trip in 72 hours, I pulled into Dick's Drive-in at least three times, I dined on pulled pork at Cochon 555, and happily I continued a cavity-free streak at the dentist so no pulled teeth for me.
As the article above explains, Chinese New Year is a time for certain dishes to take center stage, and in the case of noodles, the longer they are, the longer your life will be--hence the term "longevity noodles." So find yourself a dish of this goodness and crown yourself a "Master Noodle Slurper."
Twelve minutes left in February 2011. There's still time.

ReplyDeleteMy parents make home-made noodles, and now I do it. It's wonderful comfort food during a gray, wet, and cold Seattle Winter. It's a Korean tradition at a baby's first birthday for the baby to pick a particular item to see what's good fortune he will have in life. Picking the money piece means that the baby will be rich. Picking the book means the baby will be a scholar. Picking the rice bowl means the baby will never go hungry. Picking the noodles means the baby will live a long life. It used to be a needle and thread, but I think they switched it to noodles because of the potential hazard it is for a one-year-old to pick up needles!
ReplyDeleteWell now I have a question for you Terri--what did you pick? Was it the book, the noodles, the bowl, or the noodles?

My mother claims that I crawled onto the table and tried to grab everything. This might explain my greediness when it comes to certain things. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHa!
